Been away for a bit. That's what I like about being a blogging duo, there's someone else to hold down the fort when you're away with the fairies (that's code for spending almost all my free time in bed lool :s). These jeans are one of favourite pairs, they were even more shapeless than this when I first got them believe it or not, but a quick wizz on the sewing machine brought them back from the brink. Acid wash is definitely in keeping with the 90's theme. My love affair with Jeffrey Campbell is still ongoing (I think I'm up to 9 pairs now...) Lotsa love,

Hi guys, thought I would try something new with the editing of my pictures, I think I might have gone a bit overboard but oh well. I have been living in this coat, I actually bought it twice but returned it the first time. It was a bit too big and I was super skint at the time, but when I saw it again and in the perfect size I knew it was fate, I had to have it, and thus began our love affair. I'm thinking about doing a blog post about winter coats as I own so many. I might as well share my obsession with coats with the world. Anyway I'm going to go now before I get any weirder and turn into that person you cross the road to avoid. Have a lovely weekend.

Hi loves, just a quick one. This jacket is becoming a firm favourite of mine, it goes with everything. And this jumper is a oldie but a goldie. Do you ever find that you have so many clothes but you seem to wear the same ones? Well, this is one of those items that I have worn to death and will most likely keep on wearing until it breaks or until I buy something I love more than it.

On a quick side note, Courtney and I are having a car boot sale this Sunday so if you want buy any cheap clothes or just say hi come down. It's the Capital Car Boot sale in Pimlico.

Hi, Happy Bonfire Night! I don't actually know if 'Happy Bonfire Night' is even a saying but I'm going to go with it. I love fireworks so as soon as the shops started selling fireworks I popped in and bought myself some sparklers. I am now stockpiling them so I can use them all year round. Only joking (or am I...?). This isn't actually what I am going to wear when I go to watch the fireworks, actually these pictures were taken on what I think was the last warm day of the year. Here in England it gets freezing in the evening so I will be wrapping up warm for the fireworks show. I might post the outfit if I get any decent pictures. Anyway, hope you all have a lovely bonfire night.

Hey Hey Hey! It's been a while *hangs head in shame*. When it comes to an excuse, the best I could come up with was that I was too busy enjoying the summer sun lol. These pics were taken a couple of weeks ago when the weather was much nicer, as you can probably tell. I love this shirt - totally psychedelic babe! - and I think it only cost about 4 quid! Perfect for jazzing up a simple summer outfit. This rucksack has been my go to bag all summer, I adore it, and it's real leather so hopefully it will last me a long time. I also wore these sandals to death all summer lol. I am lovin' the chunky shoe trend and I'm silently hoping it isn't going anywhere anytime soon!

I have decided to start doing more beauty posts as I am a skincare junkie and have more makeup than I could possibly hope to wear. So I am starting off with products at the more affordable end of the scale, I think this will be a sort of drugstore series starting with lipsticks. Now I love a bright lip, so all of these are bright colours. I have yet to find the perfect nude so if you have any suggestions please let me know but for now here are my top 8 favourite drugstore lipsticks. Yeah I know 8 is a really awkward number I just couldn't choose 5 and I felt 10 was to many.

I am in love with this lipstick. I think this might have been the first lipstick that I ever bought. The formula is so lovely: it's very glossy but you can matte it down with some tissue for a different look. Miss Sporty lipsticks have great staying power especially if you have wear lip liner underneath, and as an added plus it smells like watermelon yum! All this for only £2.59 - bargain.

Now I love a bright lip and I think these lip lacquers are just about as bright as you can get. They're also super glossy which just ramps up the colour making your lips look like something from an advert. And this baby is staying on all night, so it's definitely one you can wear on a night out.

I told you I love these lipsticks and I have a third shade that I love but I thought that would be overkill. This colour is a slightly more of an orangey red than Malaga, which is more of a blue toned red, which is actually great for making your teeth look whiter - just a little tip there lol.

These lipsticks have been the talk of many a blogger. They are a matte liquid lipstick and when I say matte, I mean matte. They feel like velvet on the lips which is a bit weird but that feeling goes after it dries and when it dries it is not budging. This colour is a beautiful bright pink which would look great on all skin tones.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer: Eclipse

I couldn't find a link for this colour so maybe they have discontinued it, this colour is a favourite of mine in the autumn and winter so now it is getting colder I will be wearing it again. It is a brown/ plum colour which looks great with quite a sheer base and nothing much on the eyes except some mascara. As it's from the Apocalips range it has a really glossy finish.

This is probably one of my most worn lipsticks, it's just so easy to wear. All you need is one coat and you can be on your way. It's a very moisturising lipstick so it does not stick around all day, but you can just top it up. If you like a more matte lipstick this one is maybe not for you. They have many colours in this range and they are all lovely but this pinky red one just shouted my name down the aisle lol.

The writing on this has worn off so I think it is the shade Coral. This just goes to show how much I have used this. It's another one from Rimmel, I have to say that out of all the drugstore brands Rimmel is probably my favourite for lipsticks and this is no exception. Although this is not technically a lipstick, it's just so pigmented that I am classing it as a lipstick. As it is a balm it's very moisturising, but it also stays quite a while and leaves a stain on the lips, which is great if you don't want to have to touch up your lipstick all the time.

MUA Lipstick: Shade 1

Last but certainly not least is this MUA lipstick. It's only a quid, how good is that and it is awesome quality. It's not quite matte but it has nice staying power, and it's very pigmented so you only really need two coats. It has a kind of soapy smell but I don't mind that and you don't smell it once you put it on. The colour I have is a deep red with blue undertones, I always feel reds like this are great for the evening - not sure why though. All in all for only a pound this is a great lipstick and everyone should buy it. Lol.

Hope you all liked this post, it's a bit different but I will be doing more beauty posts so let me know if you liked this one. Hope you have a fun weekend.

Hi lovelies, just a quick post, featuring a really casual outfit. I actually haven't worn these jeans since New Years'. They're really long so I have to tuck them under, those of you who are height challenged like myself will understand the struggle. I love love this jacket. I have been on the hunt for a good leather jacket but had yet to find one, so when this beauty popped up in my life there was no way I could leave it in the shop. Plus the colour is so unusual. I love a bit of colour or print hence the leopard print shoes. Ok, so I'm not over the whole slip on trend yet and these ones from Primark are just so comfy, I don't think I've taken them off since I bought them. Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful week.

Hi everybody! Hope your good. :) I'm back with another OOTD. I wore this when I went to Thorpe Park with big sis and the 'rents. Going on a family trip to a theme park made me feel just like a kid again. Lol. These boots have made me wanna live in monochrome cos they're just so perfect! They are all my favourite trends in one pair of boots: cut out, white sole, gold accents, buckles and patent. *swoons* Lol. What do think of my denim jacket? I added the pink fringe meself lol. I love the fit, especially the length. And you can't really tell but my bag has a lion's head on it - super-rad! I think this is my best car boot find so far. Saffron begged me to give to her, but I said no! Love you, Saff! Lol.

Aloha! Fun fact, aloha doesn't actually mean hello in Hawaiian, it means compassion, peace and mercy. It became a common greeting in English for hello and good bye in the middle of the 19th century. OK, so it wasn't that fun you'll have to forgive me, there is a secret Sheldon Cooper in me that tries to get out every now and then. Just another quick outfit post. This jumper is so soft I just want to buy 10 and sleep in them. I hardly go into Gap and by hardly I mean never, but they had the word sale up in the window and I just could not resist. I don't actually remember how much it cost but I can't imagine it was more than 15 quid, I'm cheap like that. Anyway I don't really have much else to say on the outfit front so I'm going to roll out, oh yes I just said that, well wrote it (same thing).

Hi guys, just a quick one. I can't remember where I wore this, although I can not imagine it would have been anywhere fancy. I think I got this T-shirt from the men's section of Primark, I love looking in the men's section for t-shirts they always have the best ones and I love an oversized tee. I am currently in love with these shoes, they're simple and so comfy, and they have not come off my feet since I bought them. However they have two buckles each so no quick getaways with these ones. Anyway hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Saffron xP.S. If anyone gets the post title we will be friends forever.

We usually only do outfit posts on our blog, but in keeping with my previous post where I mentioned that I would be posting different things I decided to post about music. I recently went to Wireless in London. I went on the Friday and had such a good time. So I thought I would give you guys an insight into what types of music I listen to. I like pretty much all types of music except rock and metal although I do love a bit of Foo Fighters, The Pretender has got to be one of my favourite songs by them and I do love a bit of Muse. OK, so I do like some rock but I don't like metal, that's where I draw the line. I just don't get it but maybe I just need the right song or band. Anyway I'm rambling, here's a quick round up of the music that has been on repeat on my iPod this week. And yes I still have an iPod.

I love with this song makes me want to just dance I can't help but bob my head when I play this on my iPod - resulting in weird looks from people on the bus.

I recently went to wireless in London and when he played this it reminded me how much I love this song and any old Pharrell.

He is just so gorgeous and talented what more can I say, plus who doesn't love orange soda.

I think I will do this again, I had a good time listen to music and dancing away in my room (not a pretty sight I can't dance, Courtney can though) and singing at the top of my voice. Let me know which song is your favourite. Hope you all are well.

It's me again guys! Woooo! Showing up on your Bloglovin'/GFC feed like Say WHAT! Lool. This is what I wore to the London Collection: Men's event that I went to. As my lovely blogging partner couldn't make it, we took pictures of my outfit the weekend before. I actually ended up wearing tights on the day cos it was quite chilly, and I also wore these boots instead, cos I just felt like changin'. Typical woman, ain't I? Lol. How dope are these sunglasses??!? They are my new favourite pair. I love the cage detail of the frames, and I feel like mirrored lenses instantly give you extra cool points. And you can never have too many cool points. Lol.

Lots of people at the event said they liked my bag which was cool, it was a good ice breaker lol. I'm building up quite a collection of unusual bags: first a lunchbox bag featuring the cutest dog in the world (see it HERE) now a holographic unicorn clutch. I absolutely ADORE Starlust (that's his name by the way), but I can just about fit my phone and keys in there! Totally worth it though lol.

This shirt dress is one of my forgotten gems. You know those pieces in your wardrobe that you've had for a while and you really love, but you just haven't got round to wearing it? Well, every dog (or shirt dress) has its day, and that day was it! I'll definitely be wearing it more often now, I just love the colours, they make me think of candyfloss. Mmm, candyfloss...

Hey folks! Back again so soon, I hear you gasp? Yep lol. Saffron and I were lucky enough to be invited to Lewis and Leigh's London Collection: Men's event featuring Beau Homme, Clara Martin and Chelsea Bravo. Unfortunately Saffron couldn't make it, so I went all on my lonesome :'( I'm an extremely shy person so that was not ideal, however at the door I was met one of Lewis and Leigh's interns, the one and only Clarissa Henry from VintageDollRisa, one of my absolute favourite bloggers! Check out her blog, she is dope. She was gracious enough to show me around and not slowly back away when I had my fan girl moment lol.

It
was held at Icetank, a super dope venue in Covent Garden. The vibe was great; there was good
music and refreshments. I had the most amazing chicken burrito, provided by
Chipotle! It was so good, I had to find a corner so I could be alone with it. And
the moment was so sacred, I couldn’t bear to take any pictures. Lool. And it was like a street style blogger’s dream
in there! Everyone was so immaculately dressed!

The way the collections were presented was so cool: it was
better than a runway show in some ways because you could get right up close to
the clothes and see the details. I said that like I’ve actually been to a
runway show. Sound really convincing, don’t I? Lol. All the pieces were just
incredible, the prints and the concepts just blew my mind. All of the
collections had pieces that I would wear!

I didn’t take great
pictures unfortunately; Saffron’s the real photographer out of the two of us.
Have you noticed that my outfit pics are better than hers? :s Sorry Saff! *runs
to library and borrows Photography for Dummies* Lol.
